Essence of a web week: Issue 56

Essence of a web week: Issue 56

It's been a cold month here in Switzerland. Nevertheless here are five things which warmed warmed our cockles this week. Enjoy!

Inspiration

Niice. A search engine with taste.
If using Google's image search annoys you due to its uninspiring results - give search engine a go. Niice is the self proclaimed search engine with good taste.

Drupal

Drupal Snippets Repository | Dropbucket.org
Sharing is an important necessity in every open-source project. With that in mind Tim Kamanin started this initiative to make sharing of Drupal code snippets easier.

Content Management Systems (CMS)

Friendly Machine: Drupal Gains Market Share
John Hannah crunched the numbers on W3Techs' CMS monthly stats. Despite Drupal's future looking rosy there is still a long way to go to reach the 10% market share.

Technology

The Next Web: Dropbox: 1 billion files are now being uploaded every day
We all know the big numbers which the likes of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube generate. Here is one you probably don't know yet.

Unfortunate domain of the week

wtflucerne.org
Seriously, or should we actually say WTF? Abbreviating World Tourism Forum Lucerne for ones domain to wtflucerne.org should have raised an eyebrow with every web savvy person involved.

    Not sure I understand your question fully.

    If you try run this on your local without a web server you might get a bunch of errors or no unicorn at all. Vectron uses Ajax requests to get the SVG file, for this you need to have a local web server or run it on a real environment. More about this issue can be found here.

    If your question is of a different nature why not ask it over on Stack Overflow, where you can ask your question to a broader audience. I'm sure somebody there will have had the same challenge as you.

    @Daniel:

    I am sorry but I never have used Statuses. I can confirm moist of your steps. But you don't need to clone your original view. You have to duplicate it. (I assume that your original view is not a page)

    In my example above i have a View-Pane. And the autorefresh part is a page. So I had to built the whole view as a page again so i can give it a path.

    I hope this was helpful. If not, please feel free to contact me via E-Mail or Skype.
